Chapter 1267: This Man Is So Strange Today

Liu Xin'ai was stunned for a moment.

Afterwards, she sighed with a heavy heart.

As for Xiao'an, although she despised Bai Yufei's usual behavior, she still couldn't help but say melancholily, "Miss Bai is truly too miserable."

"Miserable as she may be, when you are outside, absolutely do not say anything regarding Bai Yufei, and if you hear others talking about it, walk the other way."

Xiao'an blinked, then asked, "Are you afraid that I will bring trouble upon myself?"

Liu Xin'ai nodded.

She sighed again: "How to handle this is for Qin Yiyan to worry about, and how to take care of her is for Mother to decide; all we can do is remain quiet."

"But being too quiet... isn't that bad? I'm afraid Sir won't be happy."

It must be said, Xiao'an had learned to be clever.

This was a trend she had summarized based on Qin Yiyan's past patterns of finding fault.

And as for the situation Xiao'an had noticed, how could Liu Xin'ai not know it?

But she... was afraid that no matter what she did, she could not escape the outcome of being scolded.

Sigh—

Hearing Liu Xin'ai sighing, Xiao'an leaned in closer.

She said, "Actually, you could bypass Sir and go talk to Old Madam!"

This...

Was indeed a way.

Once Liu Xin'ai had spoken with Chi Rong, that would count as having shown her concern.

After that, whatever she needed to do could be entirely according to Chi Rong's arrangements.

In this way, even if Qin Yiyan wanted to find fault, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on!

The more Liu Xin'ai thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

Lifting her head, she instructed Xiao'an: "Help me keep an eye on when Qin Yiyan goes to the study, so I can go find Mother alone."

"Yes."

Xiao'an accepted the task and prepared to complete it earnestly.

But the result?

Before Liu Xin'ai could wait for the news from Xiao'an, she first waited for a dark-faced Qin Yiyan.

And the moment Qin Yiyan arrived, he was in a state of looking for trouble.

He stared coldly at Liu Xin'ai and questioned her: "Fei'er has met with misfortune, are you very pleased?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Then why didn't you go over to show some concern?"

So, what was meant to come had come after all.

This unprovoked disaster was truly impossible to avoid!

Liu Xin'ai sighed inwardly.

But on the surface, she appeared unwilling to yield, and explained in an unhurried tone: "The person Bai Yufei least wants to see is me; if I go over to offer greetings, wouldn't that just make her even more unhappy?"

"Hmph, you certainly have self-awareness!"

This attitude of Qin Yiyan's...

Really made one want to argue with him!

But Liu Xin'ai had to stay calm; she could not let herself lose her footing.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Xin'ai looked straight into Qin Yiyan's eyes and argued her case: "I know you are in a bad mood right now, so you should go resolve it yourself, instead of coming here to find unpleasantness with me!"

"But you are my wife, shouldn't you help your husband resolve his worries?"

Hmph, this was clearly sophistry!

Of course, Qin Yiyan would never think he was in the wrong.

Even...

He might have come here just to get Liu Xin'ai to argue with him!

Only then could he have a legitimate outlet for his frustration!

With this hypothesis emerging in her heart, Liu Xin'ai's disdain for Qin Yiyan grew a little more.

But she suddenly stopped being angry.

Instead, she asked with a very good attitude: "Then what do you want me to do?"

Do what?

Actually, Qin Yiyan didn't know either.

His heart was in chaos.

And...

When he was feeling lost just now, he had particularly wanted to come find Liu Xin'ai to talk.

But Qin Yiyan did not delve into the root cause.

He simply felt that Liu Xin'ai's behavior was improper, and he had to come correct it.

Liu Xin'ai saw Qin Yiyan reveal a bewildered expression.

This was rare.

But Liu Xin'ai only wanted this guy to leave quickly, so she asked: "How about you have a cup of tea?"

Qin Yiyan did not like drinking tea.

Liu Xin'ai saying this was equivalent to chasing Qin Yiyan away.

But...

Qin Yiyan actually sat down calmly!

Discovering that the person beside him was still in place and showed no signs of moving, Qin Yiyan looked up and asked, "Where is the tea?"

Liu Xin'ai did not speak immediately.

She had a bit of a headache, wondering what was wrong with this man today and why he wasn't playing by the rules.

Could he really have been provoked?

But regardless of whether he had been provoked, Liu Xin'ai had already made a promise, so even if she wasn't happy about it, she could only call Xiao'an and have her make tea.

Xiao'an's method of making tea was very rough.

It was just adding a pinch of tea leaves into a teacup and then brewing it with boiling water.

She even used the wrong teacup.

However, Qin Yiyan did not pick out any faults; he just held the cup without saying a word.

Liu Xin'ai, however, felt a bit uneasy.

Just as she was about to speak and ask Qin Yiyan to drink his tea here alone, Qin Yiyan instructed Xiao'an, "Go get some snacks."

This request of his was clearly just to send Xiao'an away.

And then what, continue to find fault with Liu Xin'ai?

Liu Xin'ai felt this possibility was very high.

But facts proved that she had guessed wrong again!

After Xiao'an left, Qin Yiyan said nothing, just quietly holding the teacup.

Liu Xin'ai found him increasingly unfathomable.

But one thing she was very clear about:

The closer one was to Qin Yiyan, the easier it was to be caught in the wake of his anger.

Since that was the case, it was better to keep her distance from him.

Liu Xin'ai made up her mind and was about to look up and speak.

But just as she looked up, she discovered...

Qin Yiyan had fallen asleep leaning against the chair!!

This made Liu Xin'ai feel it was very novel.

She leaned over and looked carefully.

He was really asleep!

Just at this moment, Xiao'an walked in carrying a snack box.

She even said, "I've brought the snacks for you!"

Actually, Xiao'an's voice was not loud, but the room was too quiet, and Qin Yiyan was not sleeping deeply, so he opened his eyes immediately.

His mind was blank for a moment.

And his neck hurt a little.

He knew very well what this meant.

This was a bit awkward!

Thinking again that Liu Xin'ai was standing right beside him...

Qin Yiyan coughed lightly, preparing to find an excuse.

But Liu Xin'ai explained for him a step ahead: "You must be too tired."

"Indeed... you eat these snacks yourself first."

Qin Yiyan stood up and left.

Xiao'an muttered in confusion, "What's wrong with Sir? He feels a bit strange."

"He might be very lost as well."

Hearing this, Xiao'an tilted her head to look at Liu Xin'ai and asked, "Are you feeling sorry for Sir?"

Liu Xin'ai chuckled and retorted, "Why would I feel sorry for him? Is he the one suffering? Besides, who is going to feel sorry for me?"

"Naturally, it's me!"

Xiao'an was unyielding, and her attitude made Liu Xin'ai laugh.

Just at this moment, the sound of a car engine came from the courtyard.

Xiao'an hurried to look, then turned back and said excitedly to Liu Xin'ai, "It's Sir's car!"

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai did not delay any longer and decided to go find Chi Rong.

But unfortunately, Chi Rong had taken medicine because of a headache and was currently taking a nap.

Liu Xin'ai could not bear to disturb Chi Rong, so she had to return to her room.

In the room, the teacup Qin Yiyan had just been holding was still there.

Liu Xin'ai stared at the teacup and sighed softly.

At the same time, Qin Yiyan, who was driving, had his mind calmed down because he had slept for a while.

He also knew what the next step should be!
